Karibu Nshuti: The Mighty Celt

The Mighty Celt

I’m very confused. I’ve just watched The Mighty Celt.

It was Begbie snogging Dana Scully, only it wasn’t Dana Scully, it was Gillian Anderson, and she was blonde not redheaded, and it wasn’t Begbie, it was Robert Carlyle, and he wasn’t Scottish - they were Irish, and…and…and it was all very confusing. And they had a kid… only it wasn't Fox Mulder’s.

Average film, but she's pretty versatile. Did a good Northern Irish accent.

Karibu is Swahili for 'welcome,' and nshuti is Kinyarwanda for 'friend'.

So, welcome friend.

Between 2007-09, I lived and worked in Rwanda through Voluntary Services Overseas, helping to develop the first dictionary of Sign Language. During that time, I kept a daily blog of my experiences.

Rwanda is a country of extremes. It is fair to say that it included some of the best and worst moments of my life.

I have been back in the UK for four years now, and I feel it's time to revisit the world I once called home. I've decided to read back through my old blog and re-post it here.

My camera was stolen quite early on in my visit, so I don't have many pictures from that time. To make the blog more interesting, I've added a few extra video and photo snippets. Apart from that, and some attention to grammar, all of the posts are as I originally made them.

There's a bit of postage either side of my time in Rwanda. I'm not sure whether the same person that went came back. Perhaps you can judge.

I was British, female, and 26 when I left. Two of those facts remain unchanged.
